“There’s a threshold amount below which contributions are not reported to the FEC”

What threshold is that?

First I’ve heard of it.

You can donate up to $100 in cash (which is untraceable) but it still has to be reported.

If the donation has no identifiable donor it is a prohibited donation and can’t be used for campaign funds.

I have NEVER been to any kind of campaign appearance or speech where there was NOT a jar for donations—bills of all denominations & no way to trace them to the donor. I am pretty sure the donors think they are donating to the candidate for campaign expenses.

If you say those monies cannot be used for campaign expenses- then what can the money be used for? Or does it just become money the candidate can use for his personal expenses?
